Small sized Heriz antique rugs are very rare and much demanded. Exponentially more so if they are of the Serapi type.
This heart throb is amazing. In so many ways.
The squarish size denotes tremendous age. The condition is perfect. The weave is very fine as you'd expect with the finest Serapi rugs. The color palette is just right, with handsome, soft tones of peachy red and that sky blue associated with the older Serapis. The ivory wool is gorgeous. Design wise, there is a diamond medallion in the middle and enlarged ivory corners that create a lovingly dramatic effect.
A catalog piece and a collection masterpiece.
You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon π±π§
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia π¦πΊ
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
